I have been working with a credit union to get a HELOC to allow me to tap my equity to buy additional real estate.

what is the best way to fund renovations on a flip project (other than cash)hard money lender, line of credits, credit cards?

The credit check is likely pointless if the corporation is paying the rent, but it is an apartment building so I feel like everyone in the building should have gone through the background check.4.

Vetting tenants is essentially the same as regular tenants, but expect lower credit scrores, bankruptcies, etc.  

The other option I would consider is regional credit unions that hold onto mortgages/loans and don't sell them to the secondary market - they are "portfolio lenders" and have the ability to be more flexible with their terms.

NV has the 4th lowest property taxes in the nation and do not reassess on the sale. 

If you have access to a line of credit on your primary home, that could be a good option.

It's a different kind of program where we don't even consider the DSCR on the property, we mainly just look at the borrower's credit, their investment experience, and the property itself (where it's located, value, use, etc).

They have zero accountability once you hand over your credit card.This is not specialized knowledge- it is free that you can find anywhere- free on social media, YouTube, bigger pockets, podcasts.

The prospect completed an application and checks the credit and income boxes but does have a mark on the criminal record.
